These two men, as perhaps the ablest spokesmen for and against liquor monopoly, were asked by the Juneau Retail Merchants Association to present their views anew. The Empire is glad to give space to these arguments. Voters, who will be asked to pass judgment on the Territorial stores question at the general elec- tion September 10, are urged to read the two state- ments over carefully and weigh the issues. ‘The Empire, as has been stated in these columns many times, is against Territorial liguor monopoly. We are against it on principle and because we know exactly how it would work out in political actuality. But the voter is the supreme judge of the ques- tion. He should give it his careful attention, for it s a vitally important question to the Territory, to the Zity, to every businessman and to citizens in general For the Unknown Albanian (Cleveland Plain Dealer) | Italy is not so preoccupied in playing tag with ___ |the British in Africa that she cannot give attention to the promotion of her imperial schemes elsewhere in the Mediterranean basin, .

Incidentally, she looks better than she ever did before, has acquired a broad English accent, and has adopt- ed a very affected manner. Friends predict that she will be bored to tears in the Bahamas.
